Hi - This swap will be a partner swap. You will have until Tuesday September 3rd to gather your goodies, put them into a SHOEBOX (decorated of course) and mail it. The idea is to have a bunch of Fall colors and themed items to begin your Fall scrapbooking and card-making with...and a few little "gifty" items from your partner just to make you "FEEL GOOD" !! These are alphabetically listed items from A to Z of items that make me think "Fall"...Each item should be tagged or labeled with the number it represents. Attach a little note if you think it needs an "explanation". I have found in the past that these items are not always self-explanatory ! These should be small items, like ink pads, ribbons, buttons, stickers, embellishments, cricut die cuts, A2 cards, stamps, etc. IT IS ALSO MORE FUN IF YOU WRAP EACH LITTLE GIFT. Remember these should be small items so you can get everything in a SHOEBOX...no GIANT BOXES please ! ( A MAN'S SHOEBOX may be required - they are a little larger than ladies - or Sneaker boxes )

I hope we can get through this without and "DRAMA" or people FLAKING because I am frankly so tired of dealing with that type of behavior on this MB.

Sign-ups will be open through June3rd. I will post partners on June 4th. So you will have the whole 3 months of summer to get this project done. No excuses for not mailing out on time. If you plan to be out of town on September 3rd (the day after Labor Day), please mail your package prior to leaving.You MUST post a Tracking # here on this thread when you mail out. If you do not post a tracking# for your package I will assume that you are a potential FLAKER. If you FLAKE, you will be forever banned from my swaps.

Please use a SHOEBOX (an actual adult shoebox that you have altered and decorated). All of the items on the list will be able to fit into a shoebox....no large items required. These items may be hand-made, from your stash, or purchased ( and I expect you to use coupons ) No monetary limits are being placed on the items, but I want you to do this as economically as you can, while you still should only place items in the box that you would love to receive.It is OKAY to use something bigger than a shoebox - I was trying to keep your shipping costs down !!

Each item listed can be made of whatever medium or materials that you wish , and may be hand-crafted, paper-crafts, and may be a purchased item (like Stickles or InkPad or a 6x6 paper pad). Talk to your partner and see what she likes and does not like....read her MQ QUESTIONNAIRE. If you do not have an MQ filled out, please do so prior to the start of this swap so your partner can get to know you better.

If you have not been in one of my swaps recently, please send me your contact info in a PM. THanks !

Here is the list of the themes for the items you will need to collect or make for your box :

Welcome Donna ! I think I may have your contact info from another swap, but I am not sure...just in case, please send me your addy and email addy in a PM. Thanks !

I forgot to mention that the hostess needs everyones contact info if you have not been in any of my recent swaps, please send that when you sign up....THANKS EVERYONE ... (Sherrie - I think we are good on yours ! )

You may actually begin stocking your shoebox with goodies at any time... we shall mail them out on the same date, but it really doesn't matter too much which partner you get in the end, as we will all be using the same set of themes. Get creative with your ideas on each letter.Things like this get my creative juices flowing to try to find something clever if I can.

I am not sure what to do because I have almost everything for this swap, and it is definitely not all fitting in the shoebox! I even got a bigger box! There are just a couple items that won't fit....can I send them in a separate box? Blessings, GG.
